Why Choose an Oil Filled Radiator?
The heating element in an oil filled radiator heats the diathermic reservoir. The oil has a high specific heat capacity and it has a low boiling point so it can hold heat for long periods without increasing in temperature.
These heaters come in portable and fixed models and feature thermostats, timers with programmable settings, and safety features like overheat protection. They are also energy efficient and easy to maintain.
They're strong and durable.
Heating elements that are oil-filled are safer for children to touch since they have a lower surface temperature than dry radiators. They are safer than other heaters that could burn your fingers when touched. They also don't suck out the air, which can make your home dry and increase the chances of contracting infections. They also don't odor and won't need to deal with an unpleasant smell in your home.
Electric radiators that are filled with oil make use of resistive heating to convert electricity into heat. They are over 99% efficient, making them ideal to cut down on energy consumption. They can be equipped with thermostats and timers that can be programmable, which helps to reduce the energy use.
They're also durable, with an aluminum construction that is strong and a diathermic oil. This keeps the radiator in good shape and protects it against corrosion. A lot of models covered by a warranty can be used for up to twelve years. This gives buyers peace of mind, knowing they're getting a reliable product.
Contrary to fan heaters, which push out hot air, oil-filled radiators gently radiate warmth into the room. This produces a steady stream of warmth, which can be felt in every corner of the room. This is perfect for those who prefer an inviting, warm and cozy environment. They're also quieter than fan heaters, and have no moving parts, which means they're safe to be left on for the duration of the night.
Some models have a digital thermometer which ensures that the radiator only uses the amount of energy needed. These radiators are incredibly energy-efficient and can reduce your bill significantly. They're also more efficient than other types of radiators, since they retain heat for longer durations and operate at a lower temperature.
Fast-Flo is used in the majority of models from brands such as VonHaus Purmo and Ecostrad. This improves the manufacturing and quality, ensuring that they're more reliable than counterparts. These heaters are smaller than their competitors and can be moved around the room more easily.
They're easy to install
Oil filled radiators are easy to install. This is why they are one of the most well-known electric heating solutions on the market. There are many styles that are designed to promote convection. They are also available in various sizes.
These models are designed to be simple to operate and safe, making them an excellent option for families with small children. The models we offer are equipped with temperature sensors to guard against overheating. This is an essential security feature since it will shut off the heater off if the temperature becomes too high.
They also have a significant benefit that they don't dry out the air like other kinds do. This can lead to irritation and respiratory problems on the skin. This is especially beneficial for those suffering from these ailments.
The great thing about oil-filled heaters is that they're designed to be as efficient as they can be This means that you will have a less electricity usage than other types of heating systems. This is because all of the electricity used by the radiator is used to heat the oil within it, so none of it is wasted.
Many of our oil-filled radiators have WiFi control, which allows you to control your heating from your smart device. This is particularly beneficial when you are heating a specific room, or perhaps the entire house. You can choose when your heating turns on and off.
Our oil-filled radiators are also equipped with a variety of sophisticated features designed to enhance your experience. Included in this is an energy monitor that allows you to comprehend and optimize your usage. They also have an ECO mode that automatically regulates the temperature and operates at lower watts, which can save you even more money.
They're energy efficient
Oil filled radiators are incredibly energy efficient and use just a tiny fraction of the energy required by other heating systems that use electricity. Oil-filled radiators are energy efficient due to the fact that they do not depend on fans for heat dissipation and a significant portion of the electricity used is used to warm up the thermal oil contained within. This makes them an affordable choice for heating homes.
The radiators that are filled with oil are heated by a coil of metal wire, which is activated by an electrical current. The heat that is generated flows through the diathermic oils inside. This heats up the room and releases warmth through convection, infrared and other methods. This also eliminates cold spots in the room, and guarantees an even temperature throughout.
However, since it takes a long time to heat the thermal oil before it can release it into the room, it's important that you give your radiator time to do its job before shutting off or adjusting the thermostat. Otherwise, it may still continue to draw power and use up more energy in order to keep its temperature at a certain level particularly if you're away for prolonged periods of time.
Purmo oil radiators come with energy monitoring features built in which allow you to optimize and understand how you use your heating system, thus reducing your electricity costs even further. For instance the Designer RCTT has open window detection, which detects abrupt drops in temperature caused by doors or windows, and then switches the radiator into a low-energy mode.
It also comes with other features such as adaptive start, which anticipates when a room will need heating and gradually raises its temperature instead of using all the power to rapidly warm. Then it returns to its normal schedule which saves time and energy.
Alongside these energy-saving features, the fact that oil radiators are silent is a further benefit for those who prefer a peaceful living space. As opposed to older or dry radiators that require a fan in order to disperse their heat, oil filled models do not emit any noise, making them perfect for offices and bedrooms.
Easy to maintain
Modern radiators that are oil-filled are equipped with precise digital thermostats, allowing you to adjust your heating. This means they'll operate less frequently, which results in lower energy consumption and costs. They can also operate in an ECO mode, which will reduce energy consumption. This is a great feature to consider if you have several rooms that are used for different purposes or on a regular basis It will help keep your room at a steady temperature and reduce the duration of time your heaters switch on and off.
The oil inside the radiators is heated by the heating element. It then spreads out through the fins on the outside of the radiator, releasing heat into the room. It's a smokeless heating process and therefore no fumes are released and there is no need to refill the radiator because the oil functions as a reservoir for thermal fluid. The temperature remains at a stable level and the radiators are also equipped with slow cooldown properties, making them ideal to use during absences for long periods of time.
Unlike gas central heating, electric oil-filled radiators are mobile and can be set up anywhere in your home. This is why they are ideal for heating just one room, or for adding a the look of luxury to your living room.
Since they don't require a gas supply and require no gas supply, oil-filled radiators are also cheaper to run. They are extremely efficient and convert every Watt of electricity into heat. They release around three times more heat through radiation than convection. This makes them perfect for heating open-plan areas and areas that are draughty.
Oil radiators are simple to maintain. They don't have grilles so you can clean them with a damp sponge or cloth. You should also make sure to stay away from any exposed elements of the radiator since they can become hot while operating. The majority of models also have tilt and overheat protections to prevent them from malfunctioning. Some of our eco-friendly products are also compatible with WiFi control. This allows you to modify your heating settings remotely using an app on your smartphone.
